This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in cord holders and more particularly to a cord holder adapted to be mounted on one end of an ironing board.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide an ironing cord holder or guide intended to prevent the cord from becoming tangled up With the work, catching against one end of the board, or sliding along one side or the other of the board.

An important object of the invention is to provide a device which is remarkably simple in construction and of low cost to manufacture.

These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawing Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of the holder.

Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the holder.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents one end portion of an ironing board. Numeral 6 generally refers to the attachment which includes the U-shaped clamp structure made up of the vertical member I and the parallel horizontally disposed leg portions 3 and 9.

Numeral l0 denotes the clamp screw which is feedable upwardly through a threaded opening 'in the leg 8 and against the ironing board 5 for the purpose of sliding the upper leg 9 against the top side of the ironing board as suggested in Figure 1'.

A tapered horizontally disposed coil or pigtail is mounted on the upper leg 9 and is denoted by numeral ll. One complete convolution is sufficient and the opposed portions of the convolution are spaced as suggested in Figure 1. The end portion 12 of the coil is welded or otherwise secured to the upper leg 9 in close proximity to the vertical portion 1 of the clamp to the end that the main portion of the convolution will 'project outwardly beyond the vertical portion 1 as clearly shown in Figure 1.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be un-- DELBERT H. FLOCKER.
